Let Your
Imagination
Soar
If the condition of your home tells
you it's time to redecorate but your
checkbook says no, don't despair, you
can still spruce up your domestic
surroundings without expensive •
refurnishing.
Leading wallcovering manufac-
turers offer a big assist 0) the home
decorator who wants the latest
fashionable backgrounds for his or
her walls. These fine wallcoverings
can be scrubbed and stripped (many
of them prepasted) and have coor-
dinated fabrics which can be used in
many ways to dramatize a room.
Canapies, window curtains, quilts,
coverlets, pillowcases, dust ruffles,
side' chairs and window shades are
among the coordinating possibilities.
Bedrooms should be decorated to
suit the personality of the male or
female, or both, who are using the
rooms.
Paper preparation of the walls and
woodwork is extremely important
when redecorating - i.e.., removal of
old wallcovering, repairing cracks
and imperfections in plaster or
wallboard. A coat of alkyd flat is
recommended' to ensure sticking and
1)r"event any bleeding through old
stains. Always use the paste and the
method of application that is
recommended inside every roll of
wallcovering.
Old and difficult ceilings can he
renewed by- having a coat of texture
sprayed on to hide any cracks ,or
imperfections.
If you prefer to .paint your walls';
easily done. Use a color that coor-
dinates with your carpets or existing
furniture, or choose a neutral
"eggshell" 'or "ivory" shade. Stay
away from pure white which tends to
look grey on walls.
Is your furniture looking tired and
faded? Then have it covered with
fabric that matches or coordinates
with the wall -covering or drapery.
Rearrange your furnishings, even
move some to other rooms. You'll find
that many pieces look good in dif-
ferent areas of the house. Subtle
changes in a room's appearance can
be achieved as simply as switching
lamps, art and accessories between
livingrom and bedroom. By moving
items from room to room, you gain
the benefits or refurnishing without
spending a penny.
Bathrooms and kitchens are two
very important rooms in a home. One
should choose good quality appliances
and fixtures and make sure•there are
no shortcuts taken in wiring or
plumbing when installation or
• remodelling is done.
Homeowners should use good
quality wallcoverings and paints for
these much used areas. Much thought
must also he given to mirrors,
lighting and floor covering. Again
these should be good quality, func-
tional and easy to maintain.
With all the great products and
materials available and a little
common sense, homeowners can have
an up to date and fashionable home at
minimal costs.
